A tropical storm was first detected near the Bahamas on August 14. As it neared the coast of Florida, it strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane, but weakened over land. Once over the Gulf of Mexico, it agained strengthened, this time to a Category 2. It made landfall on Louisiana on the 19th, causing storm surge and heavy rain, New Orleans itself receiving nearly a foot of rain. The storm recurved over the Ohio Valley and brought more rain, this time to the mid-Atlantic region where it caused 3 deaths. In all, this storm caused $2.7 million in damage.

On August 31, a tropical storm was observed northeast of the Lesser Antilles. It moved westward, strengthening to a hurricane later that day. As it continued to strengthen, it brought heavy rain over Puerto Rico, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Cuba. On the 3rd, it reached its peak of 130 mph but land interaction with Cuba weakened it to a minimal hurricane. It crossed the island and the Yucatán Channel, reaching the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the 6th.
